if I’m fighting for my life, and I manage to wrest a weapon from my opponent, especially if that weapon is more powerful than mine, I’m going to use that weapon to my advantage.

One of the weapons used against Americans on a daily basis is the stupid lawsuit. When I say stupid lawsuit, I mean the kind of crap that has been imposed on the tobacco industry, the kind of crap that’s begining to happen to fast food, the BS that made sure all toilets are low flow, the crap that will eventually make it impossible to have a big car without paying for “carbon offsets”.

Lets sue the bastards. No, really, let’s start suing Liberals for the nonsense perpetrated upon us in waves. maybe if we do enough John Edwards-ing, we’ll get to the point that they get back to being able to have actual discourse about issues and not be the kind of fanatical nimrods we face in the Democratic party every day.

Thoughts?

So tonight I’m coming out of a department store, come to the crosswalk, and a woman in a van waves me through.
I smile and nod, walk through, and then start walking up the aisle where the Exploder is parked. And then she RUNS INTO ME WITH HER VAN.

Not hard, thank God. I feel the bumper hit my calf which knocks that leg out from under me,and I grab her hood for balance. The noise startles her- she’s looking over her other shoulder, and she looks at me, brakes, and claps her hand to her mouth in horror. She starts to get out of her van but i wave her off and go to the truck.

Now, most days, I draw blood at some point or another. Usually barking my knuckles fighting some recalcitrant machinery. Some days, working with strong solvents, I’ll find that my fingers or hands are temporarily engulfed in flames. Today, I bled, caught fire, AND got hit by a car. And this was a GREAT day.

In my car is a little piece of paper with the name of a young couple printed on it, a remembrance of their special day. No, I didn’t attend their wedding, but I got a memorial just the same. So I’m reminded to post about it here.

As I was hunting last fall I stumbled across a largish pile of crap far away from civilization- or at least as far away as you can get in an Indiana forest preserve. I approached and discovered it was a cluster of brightly colored balloons that had once been filled with helium. Attached to the balloon, yards and yards of polyester ribbon, and attached to the ribbon, plastic badge holders with the pieces of paper on it.

Great! Now we don’t even have to VISIT the great outdoors to leave the detritus of our daily lives amidst the wild, we can use MODERN TECHNOLOGY and send our shit places we cannot go ourselves.

Fucktards.
